That's the right approach. Or maybe not. Let's say I make bond typing paper- -much beloved by bureaucracies- -using American trees, American mills, and American workers. I sell at $2/pound. You make the same quality bond in China and can sell it in the US at $0.40 a pound. Z is a purchaser for Y municipality. They use 200,000 pounds of bound for federal, state, and municipal paperwork. Z can buy American bond and lay off 3 cops or 3 firefighters. Or Z can buy Chinese bond and lay off no one. What should Z do? since they have contracts w. the Army, their ramp-up of manufacturing must be onshore, not offshore. That's the right approach. That's the wrong approach and YOU should know it. You are always screaming about the influence of American corporations on the legislative process. You think this is an accident? Where's your outrage now? Alternatives to mideast oil can cut 10% from consumption WHAT "alternatives"? And don't yell "ethanol", buddy; my wallet gets consideration in this too. And, in case you haven't noticed "alternative fuel" cars barely run and are expensive. So who are you planning on laying off because they can't get to work? Yourself?
